Hi all, I've been quiet here but interested in your debates (and worried by this all although Portugal so far is not as affected as others, notably our neighbours from Spain).

We had the fortune of advance warning and we took self-isolation measures pretty soon I do hope it helps spread the virus contamination for a longer period of time, allowing our health services to cope. So far it is working. Also, as you know, we only have land borders with Spain but both our governments (sensibly) agreed to close them to all but goods and otherwise essential travel. Self-isolation at country level, all in good cooperation with both countries police forces joining efforts.

But Peter (Gambalunga) really is reporting from the front and I want to say to him that our thoughts and prayers have been also about him and Alis and their larger family at Mandello. According to news today Italy is slowly reversing the tide of this "war" and I can only say how glad I am. It's just a ray of sunshine piercing through the smoke but it is important because it makes you believe, whatever county you are in, that you can and will overcome this. Stay strong you all, do some work on your Morgans (there's always something that needs to be done) and avoid all non necessary human contact. Kind regards from the Atlantic Southwest! smile
